The film, with the working title Pawn Shop, centers on an Antifa siege of a Minneapolis pawn shop amid anti-ICE unrest. On one side: an ICE agent joined by a group of pawn-shop employees and customers. On the other: a rabble of progressive protesters, and eventually a bloodthirsty MS-13 death squad, both intent on rescuing a Hispanic man detained by ICE. It plays out exactly how you’d expect it would.

The film’s first minutes will likely get the most attention. As Pawn Shop opens, two ICE agents in Minneapolis arrest the Latino man, later revealed to be an MS-13 boss. Dimwitted liberal activists film and scuffle with the agents as they try to take their suspect away.

Then the film’s Renée Good stand-in enters, slamming her Subaru into the ICE van. Described with the subtlety of a brick as “MELANIE (40), a fat blue-hair,” the woman, blasting NPR, revs up again and fatally hits ICE agent “Juan” with her car. Then his ICE partner, “Mike,” shoots her in a justifiable killing.

          Yes, let’s not report on evil people making propaganda. That way they can do their shit uninterrupted and with zero scrutiny.

          Ignorance is usually the cause of this shit, not the solution.

            They’re doing it anyways. Maybe talking about it isn’t the way to stop it. Ever think of that?

              “They’re doing it anyways” is kind of the whole point. Why let them do it without even saying something?

        It won’t with any attitude. Look around, we still have racism, sexism, bigotry… all of these things are called out daily.

        As long as common sense remains optional, there will always be people that will disregard it in favor of an agenda. And no amount of attention to it will change this.

                Nah, I just don’t think sitting around and calling attention to somethjg so you can sit around and do jack shit about is really the way towards change.

                But you go ahead and stay outraged. It’s worked wonderfully so far!

          Do you think that we wouldn’t have more of those shitty things from shitty people if nobody pushed back? Just because it’s still there doesn’t mean it’s not working, I’d say.

          Ok, buy their propaganda. Sit around and gripe righteously about how nobody can do anything while actively discouraging anyone from doing anything. Enjoy your black pill, champ. You’re definitely helping.

            Or you know…. Stop talking about it expecting it to stop while doing nothing about it, like you people always do and actually DO something about.

            It’s the same idiot ideology that states that NOT voting brings change.
